Answer:

Lactose is found in animal milk is lactase is the enzyme that is required to digest it.

Explanation:

Lactose is a disaccharide made of glucose and galactose units. This sugar is naturally present in animal milk and it is digested (broken in its units) by the lactase enzyme.

Some people are lactose intolerant because their bodies is not able to produce the enzyme. If they ingest dairy products it may cause health issues. Nowadays it is possible to purchase the lactase enzyme and ingest it with a dairy food to avoid any health effects.

The volume density of atoms for a bcc lattice is 5 x 1026 m-3. Assume that the atoms are hard spheres with each atom touching it

ollegr [7]

Explanation:

It is known that for a body centered cubic unit cell there are 2 atoms per unit cell.

This means that volume occupied by 2 atoms is equal to volume of the unit cell.

So, according to the volume density

$5 \times 10^{26} atoms = 1 [tex]m^{3}$

2 atoms = $\frac{1 m^{3}}{5 \times 10^{26} atoms} \times 2 atoms$

= $4 \times 10^{-27} m^{3}$

Formula for volume of a cube is $a^{3}$ . Therefore,

Volume of the cube = $4 \times 10^{-27} m^{3}$

As lattice constant (a) = $(4 \times 10^{-27} m^{3})^{\frac{1}{3}}$

= $1.59 \times 10^{-9} m$

Therefore, the value of lattice constant is $1.59 \times 10^{-9} m$ .

And, for bcc unit cell the value of radius is as follows.

r = $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}a$

Hence, effective radius of the atom is calculated as follows.

r = $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}a$

= $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times 1.59 \times 10^{-9} m$

= $6.9 \times 10^{-10} m$

Hence, the value of effective radius of the atom is $6.9 \times 10^{-10} m$ .

All chemical reactions have a conservation of(1) mass, only(2) mass and charge, only(3) charge and energy, only(4) mass, charge,

Semenov [28]

All chemical reactions have a conversation of mass and energy.

Because:- There are only two laws for conversation in a chemical reaction. The conversation of mass, no mass can be created nor destroyed. Also, the law of conversation of mass states that no energy can be created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. The charge can obviously change because they can bond and change charges.
